Well the boat arrived today and well very impressed Bargain really £40 with p&p the hull is very well built and ready to take an IC engine however it will have to be electric as our lake ban's IC, its very heavy but after looking at its construction i can see why, the guy who started the build used a lot of resin!! I reckon this is built stronger them most tanks!
It came with everything + a bit more a credit to the ebayer i must say, it even came with the original snippet preserved in laminate, which all adds to the boats overall value, the kit apparently is around 35-40 years old, nice little time capsule there.
To do the original kit justice i plan to plank the deck with the old black cotton and pva caulking effect, a black hull above the water line, white below, and a white cabin, and some brass details, powered of a single 850 size motor with a LA, im not planning to run this boat at speed given its vintage it will be a nice little 'trundler' across the lake!
